I walked into the group meeting, late as usual, scouting the room for a seat. “Perfect, right next to Dan,” I thought as I took a seat at the desk next to him. I smiled at him as the meeting began. However, I could not pay attention at all. Nope. Instead all I could think about was the guy next to me. I couldn’t have been luckier to get placed in a group with Dan, and I didn’t even have to beg the professor. It was pure l...

The sun descended into the jagged horizon, casting dark, ominous shadows across Lea’s room. She gazed out the window, forehead resting upon the cool glass, watching the men below stack hay into the cart. Her heart pulsed at the sight of David in his dirty pants, ripped white shirt and bulging muscles as he heaved the barrels of hay. “What I would do to have him all to myself” Lea thought as she paced back in forth in her...

I grabbed his hand and pushed through the door. The room was dark, except for the disco ball that was flashing neon green and red lights across the room. People were jam packed into the room and the music was way too loud.

I glide my fingers down your cheek and graze your jaw with my nails. You turn your head towards me, but your eyes are still closed; heavy with sleep. I lean up on my elbows and stare at your peaceful face as you sleep. But the growing we...

Today was Friday and I could not be happier. The whole week has been absolutely hell. With the change in weather and with it being warmer out, everyone seems to be coming to the doctor. And that means, all of their “issues” become my problem. I just wanted it to be Saturday so I could sleep in and not have to think about one more runny nose again. I had one patient left and I was hoping it would be another stupid self-dia...
